Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

5.1Potential for Photosensitivity Animal studies have identified that NULIBRY has phototoxic potential [ see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.2 ) ]. Advise NULIBRY-treated patients or their caregivers to avoid or minimize patient exposure to direct sunlight and artificial UV light exposure (i.e., UVA or UVB phototherapy) and adopt precautionary measures (e.g., have the patient wear protective clothing and hats, use broad spectrum sunscreen with high sun protection factor (SPF) in patients 6 months of age and older, and wear sunglasses when exposed to the sun).
If photosensitivity occurs, advise caregivers/patients to seek medical attention immediately and consider a dermatological evaluation.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (>25%) were catheter-related complications, pyrexia, viral infection, pneumonia, otitis media, vomiting, cough/sneezing, viral upper respiratory infection, gastroenteritis, bacteremia, and diarrhea. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Sentynl Therapeutcis, Inc. at 888-507-5206 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Overview of Safety Evaluation The safety of NULIBRY was assessed in 37 pediatric patients and healthy adults who received at least one intravenous infusion of NULIBRY or an E. coli derived non-salt, anhydrous form of cPMP (recombinant cPMP or rcPMP, which has the same active moiety and therefore the same biologic activity as NULIBRY).
Of these 37 patients/healthy adults, 13 were pediatric patients with MoCD Type A in Studies 1, 2, and 3 [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] , 6 were pediatric patients with presumptive MoCD Type A but who were later confirmed to not have MoCD Type A, and 18 were healthy adults (without MoCD Type A) in a Phase 1 study. Adverse Reactions Assessment of adverse reactions for NULIBRY is based on data from two open-label, single-arm studies, Study 1 (n=8) and Study 2 (n=1), in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MoCD Type A (8 of the 9 patients were previously treated with rcPMP).
In these studies, patients received a daily intravenous infusion of NULIBRY. The median exposure to NULIBRY was 4.3 years and ranged from 8 days to 5.6 years [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. In these studies, 44% of patients were males and 56% were females, 67% were White and 33% were Asian.
The mean age was 14 days and ranged from 1 day to 69 days at time of first infusion. Table 2 presents the most common adverse reactions that occurred in NULIBRY-treated patients in Studies 1 and 2. Table 2 Common Adverse Reactions Reported in Two or More NULIBRY-Treated Patients with MoCD Type A (Studies 1 and 2) Adverse Reactions NULIBRY-Treated Patients (N=9) n (%) Abbreviations: MoCD = molybdenum cofactor deficiency 1 Catheter-related complications included complication associated with device, catheter site abscess, catheter site discharge, catheter site extravasation, catheter site pain, catheter site infection, catheter site inflammation, device dislocation, device leakage, device occlusion, and vascular device infection.
Catheter-related complications 1 8 (89%) Pyrexia 7 (78%) Viral infection 5 (56%) Pneumonia 4 (44%) Otitis Media 4 (44%) Vomiting 4 (44%) Cough/Sneezing 4 (44%) Upper viral respiratory infection 3 (33%) Gastroenteritis 3 (33%) Diarrhea 3 (33%) Bacteremia 3 (33%) Abdominal pain 2 (22%) Influenza 2 (22%) Lower respiratory tract infection 2 (22%) Viral tonsillitis 2 (22%) Oropharyngeal pain 2 (22%) Rash maculo-papular 2 (22%) Anemia 2 (22%) Eye swelling 2 (22%) Seizure 2 (22%) Agitation 2 (22%) Safety data are also available from 10 patients with MoCD Type A who received rcPMP in Study 3 (an observational study) [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 )].
The median time on rcPMP treatment was 1.5 years and ranged from 6 days to 4.4 years. In Study 3, the patient population was evenly distributed between males and females with a mean age of 18 days (range 1, 69) at time of first infusion, 70% were White, and 30% were Asian. In Study 3, one patient died of necrotizing enterocolitis.
Adverse reactions for the rcPMP-treated patients were similar to the NULIBRY-treated patients, except for the following additional adverse reactions that were reported in more than one patient: sepsis, oral candidiasis, varicella, fungal skin infection, and eczema.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on NULIBRY use in pregnant females to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental outcomes occurred at dose exposures 32-89 times the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 0.9 mg/kg/day (see Data ). The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.
All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryofetal development study, intravenous administration of fosdenopterin to pregnant rabbits once daily during the period of organogenesis (GD 7 to GD 20) at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (approximately 89 times the human exposure at the MRHD, based on AUC) did not result in adverse developmental effects.
In a pre- and postnatal development study, subcutaneous administration of fosdenopterin to pregnant mice once daily throughout pregnancy and lactation (GD 6 to Lactation Day 20) at doses of 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg/day (up to 32 times the human exposure at the MRHD, based on AUC) did not result in adverse developmental effects.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no human or animal data available to assess the presence of NULIBRY or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production for the mother. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for NULIBRY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from NULIBRY or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of NULIBRY for the treatment of MoCD Type A have been established in pediatric patients starting from birth. Use of NULIBRY for this indication is supported by evidence from two open-label studies (Studies 1 and 2) and one observational study (Study 3), in which 13 pediatric patients aged birth to 6 years of age were treated with NULIBRY or rcPMP. Pediatric use information is discussed throughout the labeling.
Animal studies have identified that NULIBRY has phototoxic potential. Advise NULIBRY-treated patients or their caregivers to avoid patient exposure to direct sunlight and artificial UV light exposure (i.e., UVA or UVB phototherapy) and adopt precautionary measures [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) and Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.2 ) ].
8.5Geriatric Use MoCD Type A is largely a disease of pediatric patients. Clinical studies of NULIBRY did not include patients 65 years of age and older.
8.6Adult Use The safety and effectiveness of NULIBRY for the treatment of adults with MoCD Type A have been established. Use of NULIBRY in adults for this indication is based on an adequate and well- controlled clinical investigation in pediatric patients [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ].

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Patients with MoCD Type A have mutations in the MOCS1 gene leading to deficient MOCS1A/B dependent synthesis of the intermediate substrate, cPMP. Substrate replacement therapy with NULIBRY provides an exogenous source of cPMP, which is converted to molybdopterin. Molybdopterin is then converted to molybdenum cofactor, which is needed for the activation of molybdenum-dependent enzymes, including sulfite oxidase (SOX), an enzyme that reduces levels of neurotoxic sulfites.
12.2Pharmacodynamics In MoCD Type A, the lack of effective SOX leads to elevated levels of the neurotoxic sulfite, S-sulfocysteine (SSC). Treatment with NULIBRY resulted in a reduction in the level of urinary SSC normalized to creatinine and the reduction was sustained with long-term treatment with NULIBRY [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ] . Cardiac Electrophysiology At the maximum approved recommended dose, NULIBRY did not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of fosdenopterin in healthy adult subjects following a single intravenous NULIBRY infusion are summarized in Table 3 . The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the maximum plasma concentration (C max ) of fosdenopterin increased in an approximately proportional manner with increasing doses. Table 3 Mean (SD) Pharmacokinetic Parameters Following A Single Intravenous Dose of Fosdenopterin in Healthy Subjects 1 0.075 mg/kg, 0.24 mg/kg, and 0.68 mg/kg doses are 0.08, 0.27, and 0.76 times the recommended maximum dose, respectively.
Parameter 0.075 mg/kg 1 0.24 mg/kg 1 0.68 mg/kg 1 C max (ng/mL) 285 (57) 873 (99) 2800 (567) AUC 0-inf (ng*h/mL) 523 (75) 1790 (213) 5960 (1820) Distribution The volume of distribution (V d ) of fosdenopterin was approximately 300 mL/kg. The plasma protein binding of fosdenopterin ranged from 6 to 12%. Elimination The mean total body clearance (CL) of fosdenopterin ranged from 167 to 195 mL/h/kg.
The mean half-life of fosdenopterin ranged from 1.2 to 1.7 hours. Metabolism Fosdenopterin is predominantly metabolized through nonenzymatic degradation processes to Compound Z, an inactive oxidation product of endogenous cPMP. Excretion Renal clearance of fosdenopterin accounts for approximately 40% of total body clearance.
Specific Populations The effect of renal and hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of fosdenopterin is unknown. Pediatric Patients Pharmacokinetic properties of fosdenopterin in pediatric MoCD Type A patients are similar to healthy adult subjects. Drug Interaction Studies In Vitro Studies Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes : Fosdenopterin does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4/5.
Fosdenopterin does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4. Transporter Systems : Fosdenopterin is a weak inhibitor of MATE2-K and OAT1, but does not inhibit P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT2, OAT3, and MATE1. Fosdenopterin is a weak substrate for MATE1, but is not a substrate of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, or MATE2-K.

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of fosdenopterin in healthy adult subjects following a single intravenous NULIBRY infusion are summarized in Table 3 . The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the maximum plasma concentration (C max ) of fosdenopterin increased in an approximately proportional manner with increasing doses. Table 3 Mean (SD) Pharmacokinetic Parameters Following A Single Intravenous Dose of Fosdenopterin in Healthy Subjects 1 0.075 mg/kg, 0.24 mg/kg, and 0.68 mg/kg doses are 0.08, 0.27, and 0.76 times the recommended maximum dose, respectively.
Parameter 0.075 mg/kg 1 0.24 mg/kg 1 0.68 mg/kg 1 C max (ng/mL) 285 (57) 873 (99) 2800 (567) AUC 0-inf (ng*h/mL) 523 (75) 1790 (213) 5960 (1820) Distribution The volume of distribution (V d ) of fosdenopterin was approximately 300 mL/kg. The plasma protein binding of fosdenopterin ranged from 6 to 12%. Elimination The mean total body clearance (CL) of fosdenopterin ranged from 167 to 195 mL/h/kg.
The mean half-life of fosdenopterin ranged from 1.2 to 1.7 hours. Metabolism Fosdenopterin is predominantly metabolized through nonenzymatic degradation processes to Compound Z, an inactive oxidation product of endogenous cPMP. Excretion Renal clearance of fosdenopterin accounts for approximately 40% of total body clearance.
Specific Populations The effect of renal and hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of fosdenopterin is unknown. Pediatric Patients Pharmacokinetic properties of fosdenopterin in pediatric MoCD Type A patients are similar to healthy adult subjects. Drug Interaction Studies In Vitro Studies Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes : Fosdenopterin does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4/5.
Fosdenopterin does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4. Transporter Systems : Fosdenopterin is a weak inhibitor of MATE2-K and OAT1, but does not inhibit P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT2, OAT3, and MATE1. Fosdenopterin is a weak substrate for MATE1, but is not a substrate of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, or MATE2-K.
🧬 Pharmacodynamics ▾
12.2Pharmacodynamics In MoCD Type A, the lack of effective SOX leads to elevated levels of the neurotoxic sulfite, S-sulfocysteine (SSC). Treatment with NULIBRY resulted in a reduction in the level of urinary SSC normalized to creatinine and the reduction was sustained with long-term treatment with NULIBRY [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ] . Cardiac Electrophysiology At the maximum approved recommended dose, NULIBRY did not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of NULIBRY for the treatment of patients with MoCD Type A was established based on data from three clinical studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3) that were compared to data from a natural history study. Study 1 Study 1 (NCT02047461) was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study in patients with MoCD Type A who were receiving treatment with rcPMP prior to treatment with NULIBRY. Study 1 included 8 patients, 6 of whom previously participated in Study 3.
The initial NULIBRY dosage was matched to the patient's rcPMP dosage upon entering the study. The NULIBRY dosage was then titrated over a period of 5 months to a maximum dosage of 0.9 mg/kg administered once daily as an intravenous infusion. Study 2 Study 2 (NCT02629393) was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study in one patient with MoCD Type A who had not been previously treated with rcPMP.
The initial dosage of NULIBRY in Study 2 was based on the gestational age of the patient (i.e., 36 weeks). The initial dosage was then incrementally escalated up to a maximum dosage of 0.98 mg/kg administered once daily as an intravenous infusion (1.1 times the maximum approved recommended dosage) [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) ]. Study 3 Study 3 was a retrospective, observational study that included 10 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MoCD Type A who received rcPMP.
Six of these 10 patients were later enrolled in Study 1 to receive treatment with NULIBRY. Efficacy Results The efficacy of NULIBRY and rcPMP were assessed in a combined analysis of the 13 patients with genetically confirmed MoCD Type A from Study 1 (n=8), Study 2 (n=1), and Study 3 (n=4) who received substrate replacement therapy with NULIBRY or rcPMP. Of the 13 treated patients included in the combined analysis, 54% were male, 77% were White and 23% were Asian; the median gestational age was 39 weeks (range 35 to 41 weeks).
Of these 13 treated patients, the age at first dose was ≤ 14 days for 10 patients (with 5 patients initiating treatment at 1 day of age) and ≥ 32 days and < 69 days for the remaining 3 patients. Overall Survival Efficacy was assessed by comparing overall survival in pediatric patients treated with NULIBRY or rcPMP (n=13) with an untreated natural history cohort of pediatric patients with genetically confirmed MoCD Type A who were genotype-matched to the treated patients (n=18). Patients treated with NULIBRY or rcPMP had an improvement in overall survival compared to the untreated, genotype-matched, historical control group ( Table 4 and Figure 1 ).
Results were similar when comparing treated patients with all patients in the untreated natural history cohort with genetically confirmed MoCD Type A (n=37, includes the 18 genotype-matched untreated patients as well as 19 additional untreated patients who were not genotype-matched).

🧪 Nonclinical Toxicology ▾
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with fosdenopterin. Mutagenesis Fosdenopterin was not genotoxic in a standard battery of in vitro (bacterial reverse mutation and human lymphocyte chromosomal aberration) and in vivo (rodent bone marrow micronucleus) assays. Impairment of Fertility In a fertility and embryo-fetal development study, subcutaneous administration of fosdenopterin to mice once daily from 14 days prior to mating and continuing through GD 15 at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (approximately 18 times the MRHD of 0.9 mg/kg/day, based on body surface area) did not adversely affect fertility or reproductive performance.
13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology Fosdenopterin has demonstrated phototoxic potential in an animal study at doses equal to and greater than 4.5 times the maximum recommended human dose (based on human equivalent dose comparison). In this study, which was conducted in pigmented rats, intravenous (bolus) administration of fosdenopterin for three consecutive days followed by ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure resulted in dose-dependent cutaneous skin reactions (erythema, edema, flaking, and eschar) and ophthalmic and histopathologic changes indicative of phototoxicity [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ].
